Comment on Mwm – The smallest usable X11 window manager

Comments

This name conflicts with the original Motif Window Manager, part of OSF Motif. I don't know if mwm is found in modern Motif binary packages.

The dtvwm eclipsed this in CDE.

MWM is included in modern Motif binary packages.

I think EMWM it's a better MWM. It even has options to make the menu sticky, a la Window Maker.

It's not CDE, but close. And some author wrote a tool to pin WindowMaker dockapps in a window, perfectly usable in a corner.

I wouldn't mind using it on my n270 netbook, but a customized OpenBSD base's FVWM it's close enough to EMWM, minus the XFT fonts.
